These malformations are spongy to touch and contain a clear/yellow lymph fluid. These malformations usually show up by the 2nd year of life. These lesions may increase and decrease in size and symptoms without treatment. They do not go away on their own and require intervention. These malformations are often incorrectly referred to as lymphangiomas. Serial treatments are often required for treatment of these types of malformations.

Don’t just LOL in emails or Facebook posts. Laugh out loud in your daily life. Whether you like watching funny movies or cracking jokes with your friends, laughter may be good for your heart. According to the AHA, research suggests laughing can lower stress hormones, decrease inflammation in your arteries, and raise your levels of high-density lipoprotein, also known as “good cholesterol.”

The most common treatments we use to treat arteriovenous malformations are:
-Ethanol Embolization
Dr. Yakes will inject ethanol using direct puncture and/or transcatheter techniques into the arteriovenous malformation.
Ethanol is a powerful sclerosing agent that denatures blood proteins and destroys the endothelial cells in the vessel wall effectively destroying the abnormal vascular mass and preventing its ability to regenerate.
-Coils
Dr. Yakes will implant coils, either by direct puncture or transcatheter techniques, into the arteriovenous malformation with subsequent ethanol after coils are implanted if needed.
-Ethanol and/or coils are the only curative method for treating arteriovenous malformations
-All embolizations, venograms, and arteriograms are done under general anesthesia.

Our Story

Dr. Yakes established the Yakes Vascular Malformation Center at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, Colorado in 1991 to be solely dedicated to the diagnosis and management of vascular malformations in most anatomic locations. Dr. Yakes is referred patients from countries all over the world as the cure rates and outcomes he has achieved are not equaled at any other center worldwide.

Vascular malformations are categorized into arteriovenous malformations (AVM), arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), capillary malformations (CM), venous malformations (VM), lymphatic malformations (LM), and mixed malformations. These vascular anomalies are very rare and have been historically difficult to diagnose and treat. Most clinicians see only a few in a lifetime of practice. Thus, patients afflicted with these disorders often seek help from many different physicians and undergo repetitive examinations, misdiagnosis, and frequent failed attempts at "definitive" therapy that lead to exacerbation of symptoms, lesion recurrences, and disability.

Dr.Yakes has developed innovative management strategies with a goal of permanent ablation of these complex malformations tailored to the individual patient’s specific vascular malformation type, anatomical location, and presenting symptoms.
